Full Moon Magick

Well, my friends, the full moon is upon us again!

A wonderful time for healing, prophecy and divination, any magick to bring something to you or a goal to fruition. I personally use this time to brush up on my divinations skills. I'm still learning to use Tarot, so that will be my endeavor tonight!

If you want to learn a new divination skill, now is the time to do it! A great resource for learning Tarot can be found at the About.com Pagan/Wiccan pages. It's great fun learning to use a pendulum, I've found that each pendulum I've owned speaks a different "language". My current pendulum circles clockwise for yes and counter clockwise for no, with a bunch of extra squiggles for not now or soon. Asking a series of questions you already know the answer to will help you figure out how your pendulum is speaking to you.

There is a whole range of different types of divination! And there are some strange ones out there, let me tell you.

Axiomancy is divination through the observation of how an axe/hatchet quivers or points when driven into wood.

Cephalomancy uses the skulls or heads of donkeys and goats for divination.

Oinomancy uses wine for divination...I could handle a little more of that!

Hippomancy is divination using the neighing and stamping of horses.

Stolisomancy considers omens seen in the way people dress.

A whole huge list of common and uncommon forms of divination can be found here. I've always like blibliomancy; divination by book!

What, if any, forms of divination do you use? What will you do with your full moon?
